tad eṣa ślokaḥ \

saptadhā navadhā caiva \punaś caikā(S ) smṛtaḥ \
śataṃ ca daśa caikaś ca \sahasrāṇi ca viṃśatiḥ \
āhāraśuddhau sattvaśuddhiḥ \
sattvaśuddhau dhruvā smṛtiḥ \
smṛtilambhe sarvagranthīnāṃ vipramokṣaḥ \
tasmai mṛditakaṣāyāya tamasas pāraṃ darśayati bhagavān sanatkumāraḥ \
taṃ skanda ity ācakṣate \\726.2\
That [Soul] is onefold, is threefold, fivefold, sevenfold, and also ninefold; Again, declared elevenfold, And hundred-and-eleven-fold, And also twenty-thousand-fold.
In pure nourishment (āhāra-śuddhi) there is a pure nature (sattva-śuddhi). In a pure nature the traditional doctrines (smṛti) become firmly fixed. In acquiring the traditional doctrines there is release from all knots [of the heart]. To such a one who has his stains wiped away the blessed Sanatkumāra shows the further shore of darkness. People call him Skanda—yea, they call him Skanda.
